3. The machine component shown below can be analysed as an overhung simply supported beam. It is made of cast iron, which is much stronger in compression than in tension. If the maximum stress must be limited to 30 MPa in tension and 100 MPa in compression, calculate the maximum value of the load P that can be applied.

    The experiment hardware is a T-beam that fits onto a Structures Test Frame (STR1, available separately). Students adjust a load cell that bends the beam and, when connected to the optional Digital Force Display (STR1a, available separately), it measures the bending force (load). Strain gauges and a digital strain bridge measure the strains in the beam. Dummy strain gauges compensate for temperature variation and balance the strain bridges. The equipment includes a lead for connection to the Digital Force Display (STR1a, available separately). The lecturer guide provides details of the equipment including sample experiment results. The student guide describes how to use the equipment and gives experiment procedures. For extra…

    The shear stress distributing in a beam depends on how Q/b varies as a function of y1. For a beam with a rectangular cross sectional area, subjected to a shear force V and a bending moment M. as a result of the bending moment a normal stress is developed on a cross section, which is compression above the neutral axis and it is tension below the neutral axis. To investigate the shear stress at a distance y1 above the neutral axis. Then dA=bdy, so equation 2 becomes…
